This includes an amazing andunique variety of butterflies - and especially moths, which are systematically presentedhere for the first time in detail. All displayed animalswere photographed alive, as they were captured at night by Armin Dett with thehelp of a light trap and then released.

The book not onlymakes you marvel at nature's amazing creativeness, but also provides anidentification guide and is a valuable research tool.
